TRAFFIC C-MANAGER
SHALL THIS oFFIcER BE REMOVED
FROM RIcHaoND
A Vigorous Protest TO be Made By the
Chamber Of Commerce
Committee.

At the meeting Of the Board OF Di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday afternoon preamble andre
solutions, offered by Mr.. A. II. Chris
tian, were adopted protesting against
the proposed removal OF the office OF
traffic-manager OF the associated rail-
ways of Virginia and North Carolina
from Richmond to Baltimore, and pro-
vidiDg for the appointment of a COM
mittee Of five members TO urge the con-
tinuance of the Office at Richmond.
The following committee was appoint
ed A. II. Christian, Jr, r. E. Blan-
kenship. J. b. Purcell, II. F. Williams,
and j. s. Elicit. This committee will
proceed without delay to perform the
dutits assigned.
THE PROPOSED REMOVAL.
A representative of the Dispatch
yesterday afternoon called at the office
of Mr. Sol. Haas, trafic-manager, &c,
in Skaters building. Mr.. Haas was
not found, however. He was in Baltl-
more. but is expected here this morn
ing ria the West Point route. The
present plan is to remove the Office
from Richmond to Baltimore the latter
part Of this week, probably the oath.
There are connected with the Office as
solicitor, clerks. &c, nine persons eX-
elusive of Mr.. Haas. Just how many
of these will go no one seen felt an-
thorized to say, but it is safe to say
that largely the majority of them will.
An office will still be kept in Rich
mond. and the official in charge OF 1t
will of course have clerical assistance.
THE REASON WHY.
The chief reason why the removal is
TO be made, it is understood, is that the
general office may be as near as possible
to the headquarters OF the lines forming
the associated railways. The Richmond
and Danville general operating offices
are in Washington, and those of the
Atlantic Coast Line are in Baltimore.
The Dispatch man was assured that
the removal will in no sense affect
Richmond that just as many cars will
load and unload and pass through here
as ever, and that her interest will be
guarded with as much care as hereto
fore.
This, however, is not the general i'm
preston. Richmond has suffered much
from the removal of the Danville of
fees; we will suffer more if MIR. Haas
is removed. That is the view OF the
business community that is the idea
Of the Chamber Of Commerce. That
seems to be a reasonable conclusion.
In the matter of rates our merchants
can now see Mr.. Haas and talk with
him. When he goes to Baltimore com
munications will have to be by mail OF
wire.
No. Richmond thinks she is entitled
70 have this Office in her midst, and the
Chamber-of-COmmerce committee will
no doubt give a pronounced expression
Of opinion on the subject to those to
whom they apply to stop the wrong
about to be committed.

Henarted.

A Nashville special says: Deputy Mar
shals Spurrier, Henderson, Young, and
Graves have returned from a raid on
the moonshiners of the Pea-Ridge
country, in the northern part of this
State. The main object OF the trip
was the capture of the Taylor boys, who
have so long defied the revenue officers:
BY the time the marshals had arrived
within i've miles Of the hiding-places
of the Taylors some friends OF the men
who were wanted discovered the
raiders, and in a few miautes loud
halloo WAS heard from an adjoining hill
top. The cry was taken mp and echoed
from hill to hill, and in few minutes
the Taylors and all other moonshiners
knew that the raiders were ont. To
tarry in the vicinity after the moon
sinners signal WAS heard meant death.
The marshals tarned their attention
TO the mountin-spurs on the headwa-
ters Of the Obed river and succeeded in
capturing and destroying one still. The
still had been heard of for several
years, but, being very small, il had
always been spirited away on the ap-
proach of revenue men. Deputy-Mar-
shals Graves and Young succeeded in
capturing one of the Marlows on Mar
TINS creek. Some time ago still on
tho NARROW place was destroyed, and
Mr.. Spurrier went 10 house 10 arrest

ing be was halted and found himself

immediate departure or death, and he

The time for holding the Republican

wants DIR. Henning to run for the

nate in the Republican ranks in the

Another reason is that the Republicans

PHILADELPHIA, September 9.-Com-
mander Harper, of the Department OF
PENNSYLVANIA Grand Army OF the Re-
public, has Just issued an order for the
Grand Army demonstration IN the
military parade on next Friday.
Paragraph VII. OF the order is the
cause OF no little comment. Ii reads as
follows: "In passing the reviewing
stand, or while being reviewed by
Lieutenant-General Philip II. Sheri-
dan, United States army, none but
post commanders viii salute. Post
colors will be dipped" q"
As the parade will be reviewed by
President Cleveland and General Sher-
idan will be in command OF the line, it
is claimed by some veterans mot Grand
Army mem that lac name of President
Cleveland should have been inserted
in that paragraph Of the orler, aud that
il is 4 direct slight OF the Chief Magis-
trate in not doing 80. Grand Army
men, however, are al of opinion that the
matter was on oversight aud no slight
intended.

this club that the primary election
should be postponed till September

give their reasons for said postpone
ment.
The following committee was APP

ner responded in short speech, and
closed by inviting the club to a demon
stration TO be given 10y the Irving Hall
Democratic Club on next Tuesday
night. The invitation was, on motion,
accepted.
The club meets again next Wednes-
day night.
Candidates present were then called
on, and Mr.. Meade Haskins and Cap
tain j. Il. O'Bannon made brief adj
dresses.
NARsHALL-wARD CLUB AND THE PRIMARY.
A meeting of the Democratic club of
Marshall Ward was held last night
President Burgess in the chair. Quite
number OF new names were enrolled
and the organization is now one OF the
best in the city.
The following resolution was adopted
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this
club that the primary election should
be postponed at least two weeks and
not more than three.
After the transaction of some routine
business short speeches were made by
Mr.. Conner and others, and the club
adjourned.
The agitation of the question OF
postponing the primary election has
probably deferred some candidates
from announcing themselves, as they
do Hot wish to be in the field for an un-
necessarily long time. The public con-
viction is growing stronger and stronger
that tonight the City Committee will
change the date from September 10Th
TO day at least two weeks later. Then
all our voters will have returned from
their summer trips, and then We will
know better than we do now what four
men in the city will best unite the
Democratic vote and lead the way to
victory in November.

The Macon (Ga.) Tc,Cgraph has the
following pleasing words in regard to
Mr.. r. T.. Hays, who left Richmond
about two years ago for the South:
"Mr. Il. l.. Hays, who has been CON
ncctod with the Western Union tele-
Graph Office in Macon for the past year
and q half and who leaves in a day or
so for the North, was the first man to
receive tclegraphic messages on a type
writer in Georgia and in the south,
with the exception of Nashville. About
fourteen months ago he was affected
with writer's cramp i'll the wrist. and 1t
was necessary for him to find relief
for his arm or give up his business. lie
began on the typewriter and mastered
it in short while, though it was a
difficult task, because he had to lean
the use Of both hands, and also to keep
separate in his mind the noise OF the
instrument and that OF the type
writer. He has learned to take mes
snges and press as rapidly as any
man in the business, ana with the
greatest ease.
"The office at Macon is the only of
flee III Georgia whore the typewriter is
used for this purpose. Mr. Hays has
been most faithful operator, and he
goes away with the best wishes Of all
who were associated with him, and also
of the 7clcgraph, for which he has
taken hundreds of thousands Of pages
Of press"
Mr.. r. L. Hays is a son of Captain
John S. Hayes, formerly of Richmond
lut now residing at Alton, Va, whittier
bis son goes to rest and recuperate for
a short time before again resuming his
business.
